Overview

Kolleno automatically synchronizes customer details from QuickBooks Online (QBO) into your Kolleno contacts. This ensures your customer information is always up to date and consistent between both systems.


How Synchronization Works

When Kolleno connects to QuickBooks Online, it:

  1. Fetches customer records from QuickBooks

  2. Creates or updates contacts in Kolleno based on those records

  3. Keeps key details in sync whenever changes are made in QuickBooks

Synchronization happens automatically during:

  • Customer data syncs

  • Invoice and payment processing

Update Behavior

  • If a customer’s details change in QuickBooks, Kolleno updates the contact during the next sync.

  • Phone numbers from QuickBooks are replaced with the latest numbers each time — but any phone numbers you manually add in Kolleno stay untouched.


Best Practices

  • Always keep customer information up to date in QuickBooks — Kolleno pulls directly from there.

  • Use consistent naming (first and last names separated).

  • Make sure email addresses and phone numbers are entered correctly in QuickBooks.
